Entering Leadership

The workshop Entering Leadership provides a structured insight in basic leadership questions. What is „leadership“? What tasks are related to leadership positions? Entering such a position means to enter a new social role and to define how we as individuals want to interpret this role. Role theory allows to describe and understand the different dynamics related to leadership.
Additionally, we will explore leadership tasks and styles and create links to practice of leadership. The last part of the workshop addresses difficulties young leaders have to face quite often. If young leaders enter established and experienced teams there might start some struggle about being accepted as leaders - a process some authors call status games.
